By this afternoon, Nanjing City was completely calm.

The corpses in the imperial city were cleaned up.

However, the blood everywhere was still not cleaned. In fact, it was difficult to completely clean without a heavy rain. Only in front of Chengtian Gate was completely cleaned because of Yang Qing's water towers, which avoided the blood in front of the main gate of the Ming Dynasty Imperial City.

The door is closed inside and can't be seen.

The defeated soldiers in the city, including the fleeing Li Zushu, Tang Guozuo and Guo Zuoyong, surrendered voluntarily. After all, if they did not surrender, they would really count as rebellion. At that time, it was useless for them to have iron certificates, and after surrender, they treated the same as the Xu family.

The three of them ordered to commit suicide.

It is absolutely impossible for them to live, and they must die even if everyone else dies.

Among their tribesmen, the males were exiled and all were thrown to Hainan Island to start mining, leaving only one male, Nanjing, who inherited their titles from Li Wenzhong, Tang He and other founding fathers, and lived with the female family, but they were allowed to go home every three years for a month. The property only retained one mansion, to be precise, a mansion after the house was confiscated. All other property was confiscated, and no one was left. Unlike the title, each family retained part of the land, including the duke, 5,000 acres, 3,000 marquis, and 1,000 earls. The remaining millions of acres of land they owned, including the encroachment, were all taken back to the royal family.

As for the liquidation of their property, it would take a long time. Anyway, the family search group composed of Jinyiwei and eunuchs has closed down the governments.

This is slowly liquidated.

The corpse of Jiao Mengxiong, Dongning Bo, was finally found in the pile of dead bodies. His ancestors were Jiao Li, the Mongolian general who stationed in Ningyuan during the Jingtai period, and also had iron vouchers given by Emperor Yingzong after his restoration.

The era of nobles ended like this.

Although they all retained their titles, they all found a small child to inherit it. Then a bunch of women guarded such a child. In the mansion they retained, they lived with the salary of the court and the land they retained. They must have no worries about food and clothing. Their salary was not low, even an earl was more than a thousand stones, and the land was enough to support hundreds of people. As for power, it was definitely gone. Don’t think about the extravagant life for the time being, just live like an ordinary landlord!

As for those who were exiled to Changhua, they could still be forgiven if they encountered general amnesty, but they would definitely not expect such good things before the iron ore development was on track, and the premise was that they did not die of fatigue or illness.

As for iron ore development...

By the way, the trees were not cut down at this time!

Besides, when they came back, they were just a group of ordinary people and would not have any power.

However, Yang Qing still faces a problem.

The Ming Dynasty's military institutions were paralyzed.

Of course, it was just theoretically paralyzed, because the Ming army was equivalent to the Governor's Office of the General Staff. Except for the military generals who were named by the Governor but were leading troops outside, all the Governors in charge of the center were killed. The left governor of the Governor's Office of the Central Army was Xu Hongji, and the right governor was Zhu Guobi, and the remaining nobles were all left and right governors of the other four armies. They combined to form the theoretical commander agency of the Ming Dynasty. The management and training of all the troops across the country were decided by them. Although they were all decorations, they just posted a document and stamped them to forward it, but after all, this was the military system of the Ming Dynasty!

Now there is no general in the Governor's Office of the Five Army!

"Then make a little more streamlined!"

Yang Qing said indifferently: "The Five Army Governor's Office has a total of ten governors, a bunch of gangsters and assistants. What's the use of these? It's just a waste of money, just restore the ancestral system and set up a large governor! It happened that all of them were cleared at this time, so there was no need to take another step."

"Who is the chief governor?"

Zhang Guowei stared at him and said.

"Shangshu Zhang, is it up to us ministers who are the chief governors? Do you civil servants still want to get involved in military power? This is the final decision of the governor!"

Yang Qingyi said righteously.

Zhang Guowei really wanted to spit on his face with a mouthful of saliva.

Just say you want to be the Grand Governor, why bother with your little lover? What's more, the Grand Governor has set up military power and gathered together. Although the power of mobilization is still in the Ministry of War, this is nothing more than a order from Princess Kunxing. If Yang Qing becomes the Grand Governor, the result will definitely be that the Ministry of War will change its decorations, and the civil servants have been working hard for hundreds of years to waste. To put it bluntly, the key to the strong civil servants of the Ming Dynasty is that the military power is in the hands of civil servants. Ten governors of the Five Army Governor's Office have become decorations. The emperor's decree goes to the Ministry of War through the cabinet. The Ministry of War mobilizes the army and then gives the order to the Five Army Governor's Office. The Five Army Governor's Office orders various local garrisons to send troops. However, because the military affairs of the local garrisons are civil servants and have Shangfang swords, even if the Five Army Governor's Office does not transfer this order, the civil servant's military affairs can still be mobilized. If it cannot be transferred, the Shangfang swords should be released.

For example, the unlucky Mao Wenlong.

In this way, the cabinet, the Ministry of War, and the Governor-General's military affairs constitute a complete military-control system, and the Governor's Office, which should have been here, became a decoration.

But it’s different for Yang Qing to be the chief governor.

He was just the commander of the Jinyiwei, and he could not give orders directly to the army. Even if he asked Princess Kunxing to order according to his wishes, then the cabinet and the four-level civil service system of the six ministries and six departments were waiting to block it. As long as there was a procedure, Yang Qing stared at him. He said that if he wanted to arrest people now, he had to get the criminal department to win the lottery ticket!

But how about he be the chief governor?

He can directly give orders to generals from all over the country.

He could even bypass the military affairs of the Governor General. If he bewitched his little lover, directly transfer the governors from various places and no longer appoint new ones, and then he directly ordered the general, then there was nothing civil servants could do. After all, whether the governor General General Military Affairs or the governor was not a fixed official position. Even if it was actually fixed, it was still temporarily dispatched in nature. Therefore, Princess Kunxing transferred a governor General Military Affairs or the governor to the court and no longer filled the gap. In the same way, the civil servants had nothing to say. In many places in the Ming Dynasty, there was no such official position, so the rule of the generals over those generals was equivalent to going directly back to the Governor's Office, and Yang Qing directly under the command of those generals. The remaining civil servants could only deal with Yang Qing's military salary, but the problem was that Yang Qing could use the inner treasury.

The in-house warehouse has more money than the Ministry of Revenue.

It is impossible for civil servants to control him in terms of financial power. In the end, civil servants completely lose control of the army and also lose the qualification to fight against Yang Qing.

This is a matter of principle.

There is no room for compromise.

This determines whether the civil servants' efforts over two hundred years have been wasted, and determines the question of whether the Ming Dynasty will be noble or the military.

"Horse Zhongyong, we do not have the right to decide whether the Governor's Office of the Five Army was changed to the Governor's Office, and we have no intention of getting involved in military power. But please understand that this is a system set by Taizu, and maintaining the system set by Emperor Taizu is the responsibility of all the ministers of the court regardless of civil and military affairs. If Hou Zhongyong wants to change the Governor's Office of the Ming Dynasty, he will pass this hurdle first!"

Zhang Guowei said righteously.

After saying that, he left proudly.

"He, what is his attitude?"

Yang Qing said to Shi Kefa.

"Zhongyonghou, stop at the right time!"

Shi Kefa patted him on the shoulder meaningfully and said.

Then Shi Kefa left too.

It is obvious that Mr. Yang's ambition is too inflated, and Sima Zhao's heart is almost Sima Zhao's heart. Even though Shi Kefa has been kicked out by the Donglin Party, as a civil official, he cannot give in on the issue of principle. Moreover, if Yang Qing is the chief governor, it is not his autocracy, but his conditions for threatening the Zhu family in the Ming Dynasty. As a minister loyal to the Ming Dynasty, Shi Kefa cannot tolerate such a thing happening.

Using literature to control military affairs is a common principle between civil officials and emperors.

Yang Qing can be authoritative.

But it can only be limited autonomy.

If he wanted to go further, then these civil officials would not continue to tolerate it, whether for selfish interests or for loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.

"Am I really anxious?"

Yang Qing said sadly.

"But I didn't think of anything else?"

He said with a misunderstanding look on his face.

"Marty, King Fu is waiting for punishment outside the palace."

At this time, a Jinyiwei reported to him.

"Ah, I almost forgot him!"

Yang Qing said.

After more than ten minutes.

"Master, be careful not to slip!"

Yang Qing held Zhu Yousong very considerately and said.

Zhu Yousong was still slipping, and he was almost falling without slipping. The two of them were walking towards the Meridian Gate in front together. The uncleared Meridian Gate was completely bloody. The solidified black blood covered the entire empty square. Fortunately, there were not so many flies in spring, but after a day's exposure to the sun, it was still emitting a rotten stench. When walking on it, you felt the soles of the shoes sticky.

This is the blood of more than 3,000 people!

Because cleaning takes time, most of the blood of many people finally flows out, even if it is only half, this is nearly ten tons of blood spread here, and there are even rotten meat in some places that have not been cleaned up.

Zhu Yousong's legs were trembling.

Although he is no longer the prince who was pampered and had seen many deaths during the past two years of escape, the scene in front of him, which seemed like a sea of ​​blood still made his legs weak and his whole body tremble involuntarily. He didn't even dare to look at Yang Qing next to him. The latter gave him the feeling of a beast that had just eaten a human.

"Zhong, Zhongyong Hou, didn't the rebel party startle the Empress Dowager?"

He said with his lips trembling.

"Oh, king, you don't know how dangerous the situation was at that time! Tens of thousands of troops of the rebel party broke through the three gates and were about to enter the Meridian Gate. The generals and their brothers fought bloody battles, and they were almost exhausted. They finally relied on the protection of Emperor Taizu and the gods of Emperor Taizu to finally repel the rebel party to protect the palace. Fortunately, they did not shock the Daxing Emperor's Codon, shocked the Empress Dowager and the Supervisor. Now they were scared when they thought about it. Speaking of this, the actions of Duke Wei were really too sudden and unprepared. They were still shouting why they wanted to support the King and become emperor. Uh, King, what's wrong with you?"

Yang Qing exclaimed.

What else can Zhu Yousong do?

He was so scared that he sat in the blood under his feet!
